What are the instrument needed to form a pinpeat?

Answer 1

A pinpeat ensemble, traditional to Cambodian music, typically includes a variety of instruments such as the roneat ek (a xylophone), roneat thung (a low-pitched xylophone), samphor (a two-headed drum), and various types of gongs. Other instruments often featured are the chhing (cymbals), sralai (a double-reed instrument), and the tro (a bowed string instrument). Together, these instruments create a rich, layered sound characteristic of pinpeat music, often used in ceremonial and theatrical performances.
